@radicalrobit Anyone seeking a new browser may want to consider Waterfox, which is just Firefox with support for the old add-ons and less of the Mozilla junk. The developers have not shown any overt awfulness that we're aware of.

@Felthry @radicalrobit Does it support IcedTeaWeb (I think it's that Java browser plugin)?

Because I'd change to it as my legacy browser, when I want to check old pages.

@Genstar @radicalrobit it should support anything and everything that firefox does
-F

@Felthry @radicalrobit Does this mean that it does not support what modern Firefox dropped?

(I'm talking about the Java plug-in)

@Genstar @radicalrobit oh it supports all the things firefox supported before they redid the extension interface too, i don't know about anything else
-F

@Felthry @radicalrobit ...huh. According to Wikipedia Waterfox got somehow bought by an /advertising company/? That's a bit worrying.

@IceWolf @radicalrobit yeah i was worried about that when it happened but it seems they haven't done anything?
